In The Wake of Indian Wells

We've got another couple of days to recover from the fallout of Indian Wells before Miami starts... which basically equals a couple of days to write about nothing, but heaven knows I've managed it before.

Ones to watch at Miami will be Andy Murray - with his illness, how will he pull up physically after such a long week? Roger Federer will also be one to watch, particularly if he runs up against Murray or Nadal - I'd like him to beat at least one or the other! Djokovic will be watchable, to see whether or not he implodes again. Roddick, to see if he can pull out another great result - I'd say he's probably playing at about #4 in the world standard now, after Nadal, Federer and Murray. Then there's the entire Stars fold, male and female - God, it'd be nice to see Sabine Lisicki go deep after Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova's performance this week! Ana Ivanovic - can she back it up? Dinara Safina - can she straighten up and fly right? Victoria Azarenka and Caroline Wozniacki - dangerous youngsters.

I wouldn't bother keeping an eye on Rafa Nadal - he's not going to falter. Likewise Serena Williams. And I don't know if there's any way back at the moment for Jelena Jankovic...

Therein you have my very confused Miami preview, in the wake of Indian Wells. Not too much more I can say about that.

Oh, and congrats to Carsten Ball, who just won a Futures title in Hamilton in New Zealand. Nice one!
